Modular DBT™ Phantom

Quality Control for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Systems

Comply with developing protocol, including EUREF1, IEC2 and AAPM Task Group 245

The Modular DBT Phantom by Gammex was developed in collaboration with medical physicists to support quality control for Tomosynthesis and Digital Mammography systems.

A range of simple to complex targets are precisely placed within tissue-equivalent breast material that is 50% breast-glandular and 50% breast-adipose.2 This uniquely flexible phantom design helps ensure efficiency across systems and test types. It can be used to evaluate Mammography and Tomosynthesis systems.

Benefits

Save time and simplify Tomosynthesis QC

The phantom is designed for acceptance testing, routine QC and research.

NEW Image Quality Module Test Object Specifications

The phantom configurations for Image Quality tests includes the Image Quality and Missing Tissue Detection modules, plus several blank modules. This configuration has an overall thickness of 6.5 cm.
